Exhausted, rest; weary heart, be calm.
Cao Cao's ruthlessness still had caring friends, while Liu Bei's goodness had deadly rivals. Don't overly concern yourself with others' opinions; focus on being yourself and doing your work well, forging your own path. Living for the eyes of others is the most pitiful thing in the world.
Rain can be swift or gentle; roads can be smooth or uneven. In the world, there are both favorable and unfavorable times. Life's emotions have joy and sorrow. In prosperous times, don't be arrogant and complacent; in times of joy, don't expect it to last. In adverse times, don't be discouraged or gloomy; there's always a turning point. On life's journey, no matter what, we must continue. Whether triumphs or setbacks, face them calmly, maintain a serene demeanor, be content with gains and losses, and remain unperturbed by success or failure, and continue forward.
Life is actually very simple, but we always make it complicated. You only live once, so don't live it too tiredly: You should live it happily, live it joyfully, live it freely. Work pace is too fast, mental pressure is too great, competitiveness is too strong, life is too irregular, time is limited, and mental and physical strength will eventually collapse. When you're tired, rest. When your heart is weary, be calm. As you grow older and mature, this society will become clearer.
To conform to others' expectations is to attract good fortune. To change yourself brings good results. Worrying about countless things leads to inner turmoil; letting go of all attachments brings tranquility. You don't need to find methods for success, just face the reasons for failure. When the desire to climb the social ladder ceases, all attachments can be let go. Eating too much junk food and dwelling on negative thoughts can harm the mind. Start with small changes and begin with what's nearby. When rebellious thoughts arise, both the individual and others suffer. When you follow the natural flow, both you and I will be happy.
